Blueberry muffins and Gryphons
Bucks in the face
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAs I walked into my room after a delicious spaghetti and meatballs dinner that I had made,using only the freshest ingredients of course (those being a jar of Ragu and some noodles picked up at food city), I noticed something was different. It is kind of hard not to notice a small pony sitting on your bed. As I looked closer, I noticed it looked just like the one I had drawn earlier that day.
"Well, hello there!" I said, right before it bucked me in the face.
When I woke up I found myself sitting on a rock beside a stream, in a forest.
"What in the world was that for!" I said to no one in particular.
As I looked around some more, I noticed something looked strange about the way I perceived things.
"Holy poop on a Popsicle! I'm in a cartoon!" I said as I came to the sudden realization.
"Just in case... Ouch!" I said as I pinched myself with my talons...
"Talons? Why do I have talons? And, this isn't a dream. Now if I'm hallucinating...Ouch again!" I said as I bumped my beak against the side of the rock I was on...
"Wait a second... Beak... Talons..." I looked over my shoulder and spotted a pair of wings on my exceptionally feathery back.
"This... is ... AWESOME! Im a Griffon! But wait a second..." I said as I thought about my predicament for a moment.
"Oh yes... Don't tell me..." Just as I said that, a small chicken came out of a bush nearby.
"Yep... this is definitely Mlp:fim... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH YYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" I got cut off as the chicken turned cockatrice froze me to stone.
When I woke up, I was in a small white room. A quick look around the room revealed a window on one end showing a beautiful sunrise over a small village, a wooden door directly in front of the small white bed I was tucked in to, and a small nightstand with a gray clipboard on it stood to my right. I finally came to the realization: This wasn't my bedroom.
"Holy poop on a Popsicle Batman!" I said
Then I remembered what happened before I got into a staring contest with a cockatrice.
"Woohoo! I'm a gryphon! " I yelled as I stretched out my huge wings, the wingtips easily touching the walls.
My yell apparently attracted the attention of someone behind the door, as I heard some rapid whispers coming from behind it. A few seconds later the door was enveloped in a purple aura and opened to reveal a group of small, multicolored ponies.
The one up front was purple and had a horn.
Hmm... twilight sparkle and the group? Aren't I just lucky.
Behind her was an orange pony with a cowboy hat on.
Applejack
Beside her was a rainbow maned, cyan pegasus.
Rainbowdash
That was all who came through the door, and I pondered where the others were. They are normally all together. The first to speak was Twilight.
"Monui, quomodo es sentiens?"
I was caught slightly off guard by the strange language. I recognized it slightly,but could not understand it.
"I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I didn't quite catch that."
Applejack and Rainbowdash both seemed bewildered by the way I spoke. They didn't seem to understand me. Twilight however seemed intrigued.
"Do you ,perhaps, speak my language?"
I was surprised when she responded," No. Please speak equestrian if you would please.
"I don't fluently speak equestrian. Could you translate?"
She looked at me with a confused look on her face.
dawwwww....
Anyways.
"Did you understand that?"
"I only know that phrase and this one explaining it."
...
I broke out laughing. RD and AJ looked at twilight, confused. She just shrugged back at them. When I had calmed down to a chuckle, I had an idea. I looked around at what was near me, and spotted a familiar grey object on the nightstand. I reached over and grabbed it, opening it with a click to reveal paper and pencils inside. It also had my Ti-84 plus in it. I took out a paper and a pencil and set it down in my lap. I closed the grey clipboard, placing the paper on it, and snapping it tight. I started righting on it. When I was done, I showed it to them.
(If you can read this, nod.)
I made sure to show it to every pony in the room just in case. Surely enough, they all nodded. I fist pumped in triumph. They backed up a bit. I realized that probably seemed hostile to them, so I wrote another note, this one a bit longer.
(Sorry about that, I mean you no harm. My name is Joshua. May I ask where I am? One minute I'm at home, the next I'm in the Everfree. Also, a better way of communication would be useful.)
When they read this, they had looks of interest on their faces. Well, except rainbow. She just kinda looked suspicious. Probably because every other gryphon they had met had turned out to be a complete and total douche in a bag. Oh yeah, adding 'Punch Gilda in the face when possible' to my to-do list. Twilight seemed to have remembered something, and her horn glowed for a second. I felt an odd sensation in my ears.
"Can you understand me now?"
The voice that came from Twilight was the one I recognized from the show.
So. Much. Win.
Earlier it had been with a strange accent, making it hard to even recognize the voice.
"Why yes I can!" I said, excited.
Rainbow looked at Twilight, confused.
"Hmmmm... that should have acted as a translator." Twilight said.
I shrugged my shoulders, my wings being attached to them shifting slightly. I almost forgot I had those.
"He seems to understand us, but I wonder why it won't work back."
I thought a second before writing.
(Could it be because I'm not mentally stable? Haha, just kidding. But could it be from interference from another spell? like a teleportation spell? I did get teleported here after all.)
"Well, that could certainly be the cause. The spell only affects your subconscious, and teleportation sometimes alters your subconscious minorly. It should start working both ways soon though . . ."
She seemed to remember something else.
"Another gryphon arrived about ten yards from you. Would you know him? He seems rather small for a gryphon."
I gave it a thought before writing back:
(I don't know who else got teleported. It could be any gryphon. I could check though.)
I highly doubted I would recognize whoever it was, but it would be nice if there was another human-turned-gryphon here. I crawled out of bed, taking a second to pop all of my joints and back, and get used to four legs. Surprisingly, it came naturally after a second. Once I was done I started towards the ponies, placing the clipboard in a little fold under my wing
that must be how they do that whole store without pockets thing! How convenient!. As I stood in front of them, I realized just how much taller I was then them, Being roughly the same height as I was as a human, 6'2", I towered over them. Twilight shied away a little, probably from my size. I reached out a talon and balled it up into a fist. I held it in front of twilight for a second, her cautious as to what it meant.
She slowly raised her hoof, and ever so slightly tapped my fist.

Oh.
Mah.
Gosh.
I'm gonna like it here. I can tell already.
